Party V activity

[wotnochocs]

DD and 2 or her friends do an activity together after school on a Friday.It lasts 2 hours DD (aged5) has been doing it 2 years and is really into it.
one of the friends has booked her party to overlap by an hour with this activity.So what doe we do
1 Activity £12 a session paid in advance
2 Party
3 an hour at party and then go to activity (other friend's mum's course of action but I feel its a bit rude)
DD doesn't seem top have any strong feelings one way or the other.It's a good friend but can't help feeling annoyed that she has knowingly booked her party to clash.

So she should have consulted you first, to see when was a good time to have her DD's party? Bonkers. Maybe it was the only good time for her and her DP/the rest of her friends and family.

Let her go to the party if you don't mind losing the £12. One week off from her activity won't do any harm.

YABU. Your DD has been invited to a party. Either you accept or decline the invitation graciously. You cannot possibly expect the party givers to tailor an event around your dd's activities. They will have booked it around their commitments and the availability of the venue. You should be pleased that your dd has been invited. This will happen 10s of times in the future and you need to get over it fast.

But her DD does the activity too!!! (and she knowd her 2 best friends do it and enjoy it)

I don't think people have read/understood the opening post properly
the 'party girl' has arranged the party at the time her and her 2 best friends do an activity.I and the other mum don't really want our DDs to miss the activity but are concerned for the party girl that her 2 best friends won't be there.

Well maybe she just thought that it won't do her DD any harm to miss a week, so it won't do yours any harm either.

Honestly, she is 5, let her go and have fun at her friends birthday party. One missed week in 2 years is not something to get hot under the collar about.

Jeez. I'm a bit tbh as to why you're even asking this.

YABU.

If my DD wasn't bothered I'd just go with the regular activity and skip the party altogether.

just go to the party its only one week!
